Project Spotlight

Seattle City Light is building a new substation and underground distribution network to help power Seattle through the 21st century. S&A conducted environmental scoping outreach and is leading the public involvement effort around the planning, design and construction of this $200 million project.

Transportation Levy to Move Seattle

Transportation is critical to a region's quality of life and economic vitality. S&A led the public education and communications for a 9-year, $930 million transportation plan that will take care of the basics, build for the future and reshape the way people get around, today and tomorrow.

Seattle is building a modern streetcar network that will provide new mobility options and support economic growth. S&A managed a two-year construction communications effort for the $134 million First Hill Streetcar line that connects a number of diverse neighborhoods to the regional transit system.

The replacement of Seattle’s central waterfront seawall is critical to enhancing water habitat and improving public safety and economic development in our community. S&A is supporting communications and construction outreach for this $300 million public infrastructure project.

Cross Kirkland Corridor

The city of Kirkland had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a border-to-border pedestrian, bicycle, and transit corridor, connecting people to places where they wanted to be. S&A coordinated the public outreach as Kirkland developed a Master Plan to guide the corridor’s development.

Seattle Parks Legacy Plan

Parks are public assets enjoyed by everyone. S&A facilitated the public process to understand the community’s priorities and explore parks funding. Community input helped shape a ballot measure that led to the creation of Washington State’s largest metropolitan park district.

Community Center Strategic Plan

Community centers are places where people can build community and improve their health. In 2014, S&A worked with the Seattle Parks Department to engage the public around a Community Center Strategic Plan that reflects users' needs, enables decision making, and supports these neighborhood assets.

Monticello Creek Watershed Restoration

The City of Redmond is restoring Monticello Creek to make it healthy for aquatic life and to ensure it remains a valuable natural asset. S&A is managing public engagement around the development of a Watershed Restoration Plan to identify potential stormwater retrofit and in-stream projects.
